I am facing issues while creating table component in report summary panel using XML

  • 0

I am facing issues while creating table component in report summary panel using XML as data source, the final report shows a mere blank line .

Below is my xml data source named ProjectXML.xml

<testsuites>
    <testsuite name="testsuite1"/>
    <testsuite name="testsuite2"/>
    <testsuite name="testsuite3"/>
</testsuites>

Below is my .jrxml file named report12.jrxml

    I’ve found a “hack” and not very nice method, but it is working.

    You can add the main (report’s) dataset and use it in the Table component.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport .. whenNoDataType="AllSectionsNoDetail" ..>
    <style name="table">
        <box>
            <pen lineWidth="1.0" lineColor="#000000"/>
        </box>
    </style>
    <style name="table_TH" mode="Opaque" backcolor="#F0F8FF">
        <box>
            <pen lineWidth="0.5" lineColor="#000000"/>
        </box>
    </style>
    <style name="table_CH" mode="Opaque" backcolor="#BFE1FF">
        <box>
            <pen lineWidth="0.5" lineColor="#000000"/>
        </box>
    </style>
    <style name="table_TD" mode="Opaque" backcolor="#FFFFFF">
        <box>
            <pen lineWidth="0.5" lineColor="#000000"/>
        </box>
    </style>
    <subDataset name="tbDS">
        <queryString language="xPath">
            <![CDATA[/testsuites/testsuite]]>
        </queryString>
        <field name="name" class="java.lang.String">
            <fieldDescription><![CDATA[@name]]></fieldDescription>
        </field>
    </subDataset>
    <queryString language="xPath">
        <![CDATA[/testsuites/testsuite]]>
    </queryString>
    <field name="name" class="java.lang.String">
        <fieldDescription><![CDATA[@name]]></fieldDescription>
    </field>
    <summary>
        <band height="98" splitType="Stretch">
            <componentElement>
                <reportElement key="table" style="table" x="76" y="33" width="360" height="50"/>
                <jr:table xmlns:jr="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/components" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/components http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/components.xsd">
                    <datasetRun subDataset="tbDS">
                        <dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRXmlDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).dataSource("/testsuites/testsuite")]]></dataSourceExpression>
                    </datasetRun>
                    <jr:column width="90">
                        <jr:columnHeader style="table_CH" height="30">
                            <staticText>
                                <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="90" height="30"/>
                                <textElement/>
                                <text><![CDATA[name]]></text>
                            </staticText>
                        </jr:columnHeader>
                        <jr:detailCell style="table_TD" height="20">
                            <textField>
                                <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="90" height="20"/>
                                <textElement/>
                                <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{name}]]></textFieldExpression>
                            </textField>
                        </jr:detailCell>
                    </jr:column>
                </jr:table>
            </componentElement>
        </band>
    </summary>
</jasperReport>

    In this sample I’ve used ((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRXmlDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).dataSource("/testsuites/testsuite") expression for setting Table’s datasource.

    The result will be:

    The resulted report via iReport preview

    The another way to get design you want – is to use the Detail band (without using Table component).

    I think the situation you described detects the bug of a JasperReports engine.

    I’ve found similar posts at http://community.jaspersoft.com site: Table component and XML datasource and using table elements with xml datasource
